I also own a MacBook Pro and I had a glitch in mine. A hardware problem something to do with the RAM chip. Glad it was under warranty or else I would have paid $400. Other than that it also runs pretty smooth.

Mac's will never be as big of a target for malicious programs until Macs have a similar marketshare to PC's.]]>May 14th 2009 6:40PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/May 14th 2009 12:04AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/May 14th 2009 1:57AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/
Apple Inc. is a genius though got to admit. They were successful selling the same item for a higher price. And their target market: ignorant computer users.

Spent $600 or more for PC repair? you could have just googled the problem and fix it within 5 min but you spent $600.]]>Jul 17th 2009 5:55PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/May 14th 2009 8:44AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/
A, Microsoft failed badly with Windows Vista, at least for the power users' market. I'm looking forward to Windows 7, as I've heard it's actually a decent OS.

B, for a user like me, the Mac easily offers everything I want. Plus, I find that the Mac OS is just so well designed that it makes using the computer such a joy and so fluid.

All that to say that I prefer the Mac OS, especially in my field, but I'm not going to snub the PC world...unless, of course, said PC came with Windows Vista.]]>May 18th 2009 7:10PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/
NO viruses or spyware EVER, that would be worth the price alone, but it is always up, no crashes, and much faster than the PCs I work on.

And I paid 800$ for it new, just searched around and found a site that sells on discount. Just like a car, you can choose to pay full price, or you can shop smart. Microcenter has them for $850 right now.

Also, if you look at PC Mag's 5 recommendations for high performance PCs, the top end mac is the best price, the Win PCs are all more expensive. ]]>Jul 18th 2009 12:55PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/Jul 20th 2009 12:16PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/Jul 20th 2009 12:45PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/Jul 20th 2009 1:56PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/
Apples commericials lies and the sad thing is people try to use the commericials in arguments with me. The number one thing people who own Apples say well they are better because they don't get virus's or crash. WRONG!

I've owned 2 Apple Laptops they froze all the time and had more virus issues than any of my Dell's.

If the Apples were not able to be hacked and didn't get virus's or crash, our government and military agencies would be using them.

Trust me they don't....

Other issues with Mac include. Not being able to send and recieve some e-mails(happens more than on PC's), also not alot of software works on Apples that works on a PC, then you have the price, then you have the how much they charge for maintence.

If they didn't crash or get virus's they wouldn't need as many Maintaince repair places as they have, that should be a sign to anyone.]]>Jul 20th 2009 1:56PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/http://www.switched.com/2009/05/13/apple-responds-to-laptop-hunter-ads/ There is no way, you had more viruses or virus issues on any Mac compared to any Dell running Windows considering the high no# of viruses that are available for Windows vs what 2 for the Mac - Windows Machines can't surf web without getting viruses of all kinds - on a Mac due to - permissions - that can't happen.....thanks to UNIX which is the core of Mac OS X as of 2001....the ONLY way to get a virus on a Mac... the user has to install it...

with a combination of permissions and the built in firewall, hacking a Mac that is running Mac OS X is very slim....
